| | SHAC leaders to prison |
 | | Last March, a federal jury convicted the Philadelphia-based SHAC USA, Inc. and six of its members on all counts against them for their roles in a campaign of terror against officers, employees and shareholders of Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) of East Millstone, NJ. |
 | | This September in Trenton, NJ, former SHAC president Kevin Kjonaas was sentenced to six years, Lauren Gazzola to 52 months, Jake Conroy to four years, Josh Harper and Andrew Stepanian to three years, and Darius Fullmer to 366 days. |
 | | At trial the defendants tried to disassociate themselves from SHAC’s tactics, while arguing that much of their conduct was protected free speech, but the jury was unimpressed. |
